A Joker Triple-Double

Image Source: ESPN

Nikola Jokic had an incredible triple-double with 31 points, 22 assists(!), and 21 rebounds, leading the Denver Nuggets to a 149-141 overtime victory against the Phoenix Suns.  Jokic's performance was historic, reminiscent of both Wilt Chamberlain and Oscar Robertson's dominant numbers but achieved in the modern era against the toughest competition the league has ever seen.  The Nuggets' win was a true team effort, with every player who got in the game making at least one three-pointer.  The team shot an impressive 59% from the field and made more than half of their 40 three-point attempts; and the starters were especially effective with each player recording a positive +/- while on the court.  Well done!
